Alex Raymond's "Flash Gordon"

Here's something cool from the Golden Era. I just purchased a new book reprinting in full color the comic strip "Flash Gorden", and wow, what a fun read! I never read Flash before, so it was a purchase based on reputation alone, and I'm glad I did it. Each 9"x12" page prints a full Sunday strip, and each one ends in a cliffhanger. The cliffhangers make it hard to put down, as you want to see how they get out of their latest problem!

If you're interested, you can order directly from the publisher, Checker. (You can also see some sample pages there) A second book is coming out next month. I've also purchased their first 3 reprints of Steve Canyon, which I haven't read yet. I'm hoping they might also consider reprinting Terry and the Pirates, which is another great Golden Era strip.
